Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) was an American country singer from Texas. Alongside Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson, he formed an outlaw country music supergroup called The Highwaymen. Despite being a country singer, he is well-known for being a “hippie” rather than a “redneck”. Similarly to Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson was a veteran of the Korean War.

Willie Nelson’s most famous songs include Whiskey River, Redheaded Stranger, and On the Road Again. He was very influential to the country music genre.
